DeSantis took his CPAC time to attack Biden, Canada and Australia while ignoring Russia

ORLANDO, Fla. - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) lashed out on Thursday against national Democrats, COVID-19 restrictions and other perceived attacks on "freedom" in a speech that is likely to fuel speculation about a potential 2024 presidential bid.

The roughly 20-minute speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was, in essence, a rundown of the grievances and political victories that have helped make DeSantis a conservative superstar, both in Florida and nationally.

--snip--

Notably absent from DeSantis's speech was any mention of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Instead, he took aim at allied countries - Canada and Australia - for imposing stricter measures in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

This is a major issue, if you can't speak about it, then it should be seen as disqualifying.

But the "own the libs" types are cheering this behavior on.

No way would DeSantis aim at Putin. Hell, he wants to BE Putin.
